Kibbo searches Yagric's corpse. He finds 4 vials. He sniffs them and looks at them from every angle. "Great Liberator B-bastard-Lizard I finds poison. Tiny centipede poison. You wants Great Liberator B-bastard Lizard?" He is having difficulty holding all 4 vials. As he approaches Great Liberator B-bastard-Lizard he drops one and it breaks when it hits the floor. He freezes in a contorted posture trying to maintain the remaining three vials.
"No worry Jarrdreg, I kill Glintaxe."
The obsidian missile whizzes past Great Liberator B-bastard-Lizard's ear by an inch or so on its way to contact with Glintaxe dealing 1HP nonlethal damage to the ghost.
"This is way, Great Liberator Reindeer." They head up the north corridor and then west. At the next intersection, they turn north again. Kibbo and Jarrdreg are talking to themselves about something as they round the corner. It takes a few seconds for them to look up.
An evil hiss rises from the darkness ahead. A floating dwarven form shrouded in full plate rounds the corner. The air about this dwarven specter shimmers eerily, and the walls and floor sizzle and smoke where it passes. The thing’s boots scorn the earth, gliding a full foot above the masonry floor. It drags a cruel bloodletter axe in the air behind it. Inititative:
Reinar 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10 Zevon 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10 Bulgard 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21 Rhen 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18 Glintaxe 1d20 - 5 ⇒ (13) - 5 = 8 Zevon 18/20, Reinar 25/28 Round 1
Kibbo is relieved that B-bastard-Lizard is not going to kill him. "B-bastard-Lizard, they no valuable have. Armor that no fit Kibbo and spears he no use. Ahhh! Jarrdreg they haves slings. Get you one." He backs away from B-Bastard-Lizard. He and Jarrdreg poke around through the obsidian looking for decent sling missiles.
"Great liberator, Weevon. There are many many twaps almost everywhere. We know bestes ways to go. We were once pink skin slaves. Pink skins good mastahs. Kolbold not good mastuhs. Merlokrep sacrificing pink skins to fixes what he broke. Jekkajak tells him this in prohetsie. Names, names. Pink skins have two names. Kobold have one name. What are Great Liberator's namesies?"
Bulgard drops the last kobold warrior. End initiative. The two kobold slaves walk toward you, heads held down, but eyes upon you. When they get close, one of them speaks to you in...common? "Great Liberators! Great Liberators! Wheeeeee! I am Kiboo. This be Jarrdreg. We be slaves. We likesies the pink skin mastuhs, we no likesies the kobold mastuhs. We do anything you says. Just says it. We do it." He looks at you with various pitiful, pleading expressions. |
